Actress Amanda Seyfried has become the latest celebrity victim of photo hacking after some very personal photos of her leaked online recently.

The "Mean Girls" star has called in the lawyers after the images appeared on a celebrity gossip website called Celeb Jihad - demanding that they be removed, reported TMZ.

According to a legal letter published on the website, the "very private" photos feature Amanda "in various states of nudity or in intimate moments with her former boyfriend", and that they were "wrongfully obtained" without the actress' consent.

Amanda - who is expecting her first child with current partner Thomas Sadoski - is not the only actress who has been targeted in the latest leak.

News of the hacking comes after it was revealed that private photos of Emma Watson had also leaked online, showing the "Beauty And The Beast" star trying on outfits at a clothes fitting.
